This year, the race will begin and end at the UAB National Alumni Society House, 1301 10th Ave. South. The post-race party at the Alumni House will feature food and entertainment including live music from the Jeff Otwell Band. Runners are encouraged to invite family and friends to enjoy the fun, family-friendly atmosphere. The post-race party is included for all race participants; additional guests can enjoy the catered meal for just $10 per person.

All proceeds from the race will benefit UAB student scholarships. Last year, the NAS raised nearly $80,000 for scholarships through the race and, with a goal of $100,000, is looking to exceed that this year.
